Since UWP Community Toolkit v1.1, we started encouraging developers to follow some simple guidances to make controls more accessible. As a developer, I did not consider accessibility like I should have. And most of the time it was more because I did not realize how simple it could be to at least provide some basic […]

Woot! What a version again! It seems to me that this is my state of mind for every version but, whaou! we put so much love again in this version. You can find the complete release notes here but I still would like to highlight a few features (Even if they all deserve some attention). […]

Early this week, I published a new version of UrzaGatherer which added support to navigation transitions. You can see how it looks in this video: I like these transitions because they really smooth out the user experience. You feel more comfortable using the app just thanks to these subtle animations. So let me explain […]

We’ve just released Babylon.js 2.3 with the biggest set of features we ever shipped David (the other one) presented on his blog the demo we built with Michel Rousseau: The Sponza demo. This demo can really showcase what can be done on the web today regarding visual quality rendering (Even on low end devices). Among […]

To celebrate the recent publication of Vorlon.js 0.2.1. I’d like to talk about a feature we recently introduced to the Best Practices plugin: Accessibility Analysis. If you’re not familiar with Vorlon.js, I suggest you visit these pages first: · http://vorlonjs.io/#getting-started · https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/eternalcoding/2015/04/29/why-we-made-vorlon-js-and-how-to-use-it-to-debug-your-javascript-remotely/ A quick glance at the Best Practices plugin Before jumping into the main […]

Today I want to change things a bit: instead of covering a technical subject, I want to share with you what it means to run an open source project For more than two years, my friend David Rousset and I have led Babylon.js. We started the project after hearing that IE11 would support WebGL and […]

Last week, I announced the beginning of ChakraBridge: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2015/10/21/using-javascript-frameworks-from-your-c-uwp-application.aspx One of the problem I mentioned was that the JavaScript framework that you want to use has to be independent of the DOM. But today, thanks to the great contribution of Koen Zwikstra (Developer of XAML Spy), I’m thrilled to announce that you can also use […]

JavaScript has, without doubt, the most vibrant ecosystem out there. There are gazillions of new frameworks released every month (https://www.javascripting.com/). As a C# developer—even with a great, active C# community—you may sometimes find yourself a little bit jealous. What if we could bring the JavaScript language and ecosystem also into the C# world? What if […]

JavaScript has come a long way since its early versions and thanks to all efforts done by TC39 (The organization in charge of standardizing JavaScript (or ECMAScript to be exact)) we now have a modern language that is used widely. One area within ECMAScript that received vast improvements is asynchronous code. You can learn more […]

With Windows 10, we (as developers) have the opportunity to create both desktop and mobile apps using Universal Windows Platform. Feel free to reach me on Twitter to discuss about this article: @deltakosh With this in mind, I created UrzaGatherer 3.0 that you can grab freely on the store. Today I would like to zoom […]
